    Trivia

    • In Diamond and Pearl only, the player can encounter Floatzel at Level 22 at Route 213. Buizel does not naturally evolve until Level 26. This was fixed in Platinum.
    • A Floatzel with max EVs, max IVs, and Swift Swim has a higher speed than Speed Forme Deoxys (which travels at hypersonic speeds) when it's raining.

    Origin

    Floatzel is based on a weasel with elements of otters, life vests, and inflatable motorboats.

    Etymology

    • Floatzel comes from float, weasel, flow, and boat. Given its chubby appearance, it may also incorporate bloated.
    • Furōzeru comes from flow, float, and weasel.

    Names in other languages
